Thanks for the post, Trichoscience.
Now, when it says that the procedure has shown results in previous trials and tests, can you elaborate on that a little bit? Are there any photos of patients who underwent this procedure? Are there any papers or abstracts that have been written for the results?

Also, how long do you think it'll take before this technology is available to the public?

Thanks.

[TeeJay73]

Excellent questions; I am looking forward to learning more about this technology.

As an additional question -- Will this technology be available to men that have already undergone hair transplantation?

Thank you,

TeeJay

[brentipold]

add it to the long list I guess.......

[mikey79]

i presume this is same as HSC??

[GoodFellas]

Also, how long do you think it'll take before this technology is available to the public?

Thanks.

Anyone who knows?..

I saw this on another site. It looks promising

[PatientlyWaiting]

So I guess the TrichoScience procedure won't be available anytime soon? Will HSC be available before all other next generation cures?

can someone explain how this compares with the clinical approach being taken by Aderans. the technology sounds similar to Aderans .. sample of cells taken from patient, then cultured and injected into patient but the clinical approach looks different.
Aderans must demonstrate safety and efficacy to the government (relevant heath body) but Trichosciene only needs to demonstrate safety to the government body. so does that mean they can take a shorter approval route ?

Reply from Trichoscience

I emailed Trichoscience the other week as I was feeling desperate for new information especially regarding their expected timelines etc. Here's their response....

Hi

Thank you for contacting us. Yes, we have started human trials. We cannot say
exactly when we will have results from these trials, but we expect to have some
information by the end of the year. Until we have completed all our clinical
trials (we are currently in Phase I of what will likely be at least three,
depending on results), we can make no predictions regarding efficacy or
commercial availability.

Regards,

They seem to be pretty good at responding to enquiries at least.

[NTMANNN]

So they changed their name to Replicel? The animation of the procedure on their site is pretty interesting: http://www.replicel.com/

[CVAZBAR]

That animation was cool. The idea and procedure seems very simple. It makes a lot of sense but there is always a damn problem. Why can't it be that easy? Damn hair is so complicated.

[Mojo Risin]

The website is pretty well done ... lot of informations, very professional.
